Thank you very much.
If you're around, come on down.
I'd love to high five you and be friends.
Absolutely.

Yeah.
OK.
We can include that in the show notes, too.
We'll have a link for that if you want to pick up tickets.
So we'll drop that in there as well.
Wanted to spend a little time.
He is back in the news.
Wisconsin's own Derek van Orden.
from the Western part of Wisconsin.
And this is courtesy of Pat Critello from Up North News Radio.
Derek Van Orden screams at a witness while defending cuts to food aid.
Nationally known for his angry outburst, the Wisconsin congressman angrily attacked critics of the House GOP budget plan to slash $230 billion
in USDA programs, I believe we have a clip from the always calm, always even tempered Derek Van Orden.
Calvin, can we play that clip, please?
And I'm going to dispel some things.
You're receiving benefits from the federal government lawfully as an American citizen.
Your benefits are not going to be reduced by nickel.
I'm going to say it again.
If you're an American citizen that is lawfully receiving benefits from the federal government, your benefits will not be reduced by a nickel.
Write that down.
Things have changed.
I'm going to write that
down.
the same
people that told you during the last budgetary cycle that Republicans are going to cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, WIC, SNAP.
They lied to you.
They lied openly to the American public.
They're the same people that lied to you and are fear mongering with hungry children and those most in need in our country and it's unacceptable and it's despicable.
This should be a nonpartisan committee.
They're lying over it.
Stop it.
You, you're wrong.
My Democrat colleagues, there's billions and billions and billions of dollars in fraud with these programs.
Refining a program does not say getting rid of the program.
It's refining it.
Dr. Schozenbach, you said that work requirements are really good at getting people off of SNAP.
What's the purpose of SNAP?
To be on SNAP forever?
No, but we want people to leave SNAP.
Okay, so hold on.
Hey doctor,
17.
for it.
The
the source?
But they're not
Are you familiar?
But it's dropping off.
Below the oh, yes, please Derek and Derek Ben Orton school me on dignity.
Yeah,
please I want to take a class from
you.
There is so much in there you can take apart my I think my It's tied between him telling a doctor of of she she is an educated human being giving her
giving her expertise on this situation.
You don't know anything because I dropped out of high school.
And by the way, in that video, in the earlier part of the, he talked about being poor and being on government, on government cheese and using all those terminologies.
And which is why Pat makes the claim that he was the same person too.
He grew up poor to a single mom and had to go through the same thing as well.
That doesn't make you smarter.
You have different levels of experience.
And also when you interrupt her,
when she's trying to talk to you, answering the question you asked, and then you have the nerve to say, don't interrupt me when she is trying to speak as well.
Derek Van Orden, Derek Van Orden does not even, he doesn't belong in the Congress.
He doesn't belong as a dog catcher in this state.
He is despicable and disgusting.
I think he has anger management issues.
He loves to dress down people and yell at people, but not in, and this was actually the most I've seen him get.
like but he gets aggressive he gets pointed and and i'm sorry to say it and i'll say it right here he generally does it towards women oh
absolutely absolutely i've got a whole list yeah i've got a whole list of dirrick van orton's greatest hits where he's done this before he loves to attack people weaker and smaller yes than he is
yes
uh
He is a high school dropout, a PJ on the line.
He's a high school dropout.
He got his GED from what I understand, and he went back to college, graduated from an online college,
and he
spent 26 years in the military, which gives him also an experience that I would never try to say doesn't count.
855-752-4842, if you would like to join the conversation.
Jean Vermeau-Claire is on the line.
Good morning, Jean.
What do you want to say?
about, uh, DVO.
Oh, I can't believe it.
Well, yeah, I do believe it.
I knew that he was a little off, but now we know that he's way off.
You know, the people that are in that Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Volberg, this guy, they should not even be allowed on the Capitol.
This is just
I just can't believe that this guy is running down people who have studied for years and years trying to make our country better and things better for people.
Thank you very much, guys.
Keep it up.
Keep letting the people know and play his voice.
The word's coming out of his mouth, because that's what he said, and he can't deny it.
Thanks, guys.
Have a good day.
Thank you.
Bye.
Bye, Gene.
Thank you so much,
Gene.
We do have more of his voice.
We actually do.
This is from last year.
He's speaking to a reporter who is just, you know, doing their job, asking questions on the budget.
And of course, you know, that's too much for old DVO here.
And he's got to just become the biggest, meanest monster on the steps.
Calvin, can you play that clip as well?
And
I
Let's just insult people.
Yeah, you know, that's just easier.
It's just let just insult people.
That's
how it works.
I'm sure that's what people who voted for them realized they're getting from.
Him is just a man who has a lot of issues inside and doesn't know how to deal with them.
So he just takes it on those who are, you know, living their lives
around him.
She's doing her job.
She's asking a question, which may not be a question that you like, but she is still doing her job as a reporter.
Last time I checked, I didn't think a reporter's job was to just throw softballs.
Yeah.
And let's not forget again, this is not Derek van Orden has a long history of this kind of behavior going back to when he blew up at this teenage library worker in his district over a display of LGBTQ books when and this she's a teenager and then there were more teenagers
that he went after Senate pages.
Yep, they were doing a thing where they tore, I think the end of their run, they'll go there, they'll go in the hallways, they'll lay on the floor and they'll take pictures of the ceiling, which are innate and beautiful.
It's a tradition.
It's a tradition.
This is not disrespectful.
This is accepted.
And he, and some will say, was not exactly the soberest, comes out of his office and decides to start yelling at them.
Cursing
at them.
Cursing at them.
This is a man who, and I'm saying this as another man.
He's a man who needs some help.
He needs to talk to somebody because this is getting out of hand.
He is embarrassing himself, his district, Wisconsin, and when people see this stuff on the internet, this country, because that's who represents us.
And don't forget, at the RNC, he accused this young woman of assaulting him.
Oh my God, yes.
Standing in line, and there's a video of this as well, that went nowhere.
There were no charges filed against this woman.
She did not assault him.
And by the way, she is a munchkin.
Compared to the manly man, Derek Van Orden.
Derek Van Orden is never more at home than when he's playing the disgruntled victim.
That's where he eats, lives, and breathes.
Disgruntled victim, I did all this, you better respect me, but I will never give you the respect back, no matter how much you deserve it.
Well, he's gonna be up for re-election next year.
And from what I understand, Rebecca Cook already have a million dollars in her bank.
That's something to keep in mind, my friends, when we return, we're going to lighten things up for the rest of the show.
Brittany Merleau will be here with Weather and Wine, and then we'll talk sports with Paul Noonan from the Acme Packing Company.
Stay with us.
You are listening to Matt Nair on air on the Civic Media Radio Network.
I don't know why there's no sun up in the
sky.
Good morning.
Welcome back to Matt Nair on air.
Jane Matt Nair, Greg Bach, resident young person Calvin on the board coming to you from our studio at Radio Park in Racine.
Join us, call her text at 855-752-
4-8-4-2.
Leave a comment if you're watching on the livestream.
On Facebook, YouTube, and what used to be Twitter after the 11-30 news ACME Packing Company sports guru Paul Newton will be here to talk all things sports, including that huge win for the Brewers yesterday, 17-2.
Right now, though, she joins us every Thursday at this time for a little weather and wine.
Civic media meteorologist Brittany Merleau.
Good morning, Brittany.
How's it going?
Great.
How are you doing?
We're good.
We're good.
It's a little gray and spitty here in the Racine area.
It's not raining hard.
It's just kind of, you know, it's misty and kind of annoying.
And it's not going to be terribly warm today, but better things are to come, right?
They are.
I'd say today is the definition of dreary.
We're going to get through it.
It's almost over, right?
We're halfway through it.
Right, right.
We've got plenty of sunshine on the way.
So what's happening is the high pressure system is going to clear all this clouds cover out of here overnight tonight.
And we're going to be waking up to abundant sunshine tomorrow.
And it's going to stay here for Saturday.
And the further south you live, you're going to hang on to it for Sunday.
But the further north, you've got some rain rolling in.
Rain but not snow.
Correct.
At the moment.
At the moment.
However, it does kind of up.
Up north.
Yeah, that rain on Monday night may potentially flip over to a little bit of light snowfall Tuesday night into park far far north woods But of course Hurley could get smacked with another six inches of snow.
Oh
man Again, this shouldn't be a surprise.
It's only April.
We've had snow in May in
Wisconsin It's
rare, but it has happened.
So I guess this shouldn't be that big of a surprise, but we're all ready
I think we're all ready for a little warm up and it is going to warm up this weekend.
Yes, yeah, it's gonna be really nice.
Actually, we'll already be into those mid 50s for tomorrow, tapping the low 60s on Saturday, and then some mid 60s on Sunday, and we're gonna hold the heat on Monday too.
Now, heads up, we do fall a little bit Tuesday, Wednesday, but we're gonna rebound back to those spring temperatures, and the weekend actually looks really nice too.
And I see some 70s as we cruise into the following week as well,
so.
Ooh.
get excited.
Yeah.
We're
talking about what's going on this tonight with the comedy stuff.
Rob from Tigerton also came in on the live stream saying tonight I'm taking a storm spotters training class tonight at 7pm from the Green Bay National Weather Service online.
This is my third year taking the class and storm spotters are very important
during
the weather events from importing storm damage, getting rain and snow amounts, they their eyes on the ground in reporting weather in their locations.
So yes,
that's really that's really an important element though isn't it Brittany and especially when we're talking about Noah receiving all of these kinds of cuts We we can use more storm spotters
The more help, the better.
Please, please, please.
There is a class tonight and it's online, okay?
So anyone can do this across the state.
You can join tonight and there's another one on Monday too.
And of course, there's more throughout the next month or so locally as well.
But those two are online.
If you go to National Weather Service Green Bay, you can sign up right there and get all registered for that.
But it's pretty cool.
I mean, you're gonna learn about severe thunderstorms.
You're gonna know the difference between a funnel cloud and an actual tornado.
You're
gonna...
really dive in deep and learn the science behind it and nerd out, which is the cool part.
So if you like to go outside and watch the storms roll through, I highly, highly suggest this for you.
It's fun to do.
What are some of the other responsibilities as far as being a storm spotter, Brittany?
Is it keeping track of like rain amounts and things like that?
Yeah, so there's different programs.
This one that's going on tonight will be more for severe weather storm spotting and stuff.
But I mean, we are measuring how much rain is coming through.
fast it's coming down, how much snow you're getting.
I mean, there's even people who take temperatures daily and even precipitation daily and put reports in to this database, which is so, so, so helpful.
If my mother were still alive, she would absolutely do this because she used to write down the weather every day.
Oh, I love that.
That was so cute.
It was so cute.
I was talking about severe weather, though.
Is tornado awareness week?
Yes.
So this week is severe weather awareness week across the state.
I mean, tornado season is April through August.
So we're already entering it.
Last year we had tons of tornadoes.
We doubled our average.
We usually have about 23 tornadoes in the state each year.
We had 40, more than 40.
And about 22 of those were on one month, the month of May.
Wow.
Let's get ready, you guys.
It's right around the corner, right when we start to get those nicer temperatures, and those cold fronts come through, the severe weather sparks up.
So the sirens will sound today at 1.45 and 6.45, and it's a time to just practice your plan.
Actually do it.
I know it might sound stupid or feel weird, but muscle memory, I'm telling you, when you're in an emergency, your brain goes crazy.
You're running around in circles, you don't know what to do next.
Plan it, do it now, have that muscle memory going, and also get an emergency bag together too.
You're going to want extra shoes.
You're probably not going to have them on if you're running into the basement or wherever you're going in an emergency.
So shoes, clothes, medicine, snacks, water, put it on the bag so you can just grab the bag or leave the bag in your safe.
I was going
to say, yeah, leave it in the basement.
Yeah.
Yep.
That sounds
like a
really good idea.
And I would think especially if you have children, this is really a really important annual review of what to do if your house gets hit by a tornado.
Yeah.
And it's just so, I've got the chills right now.
I've just seen too much destruction and devastation across our state.
And you know, it's killed people in our state as well.
And it's just giving me the chills.
So just be ready, be prepared.
I don't care how stupid you feel today.
Do it.
Yep.
All right.
Yeah.
Planning ahead is always better.
And as you said, Brittany, when you're panicking like that and we don't necessarily have all that much time to get into the basement and collect all that stuff, just put it, put your bag together today, like you said, and make sure you include, you know, a bowl for the dog or the cat and the dog and the cat food along with some met some of your meds and other things like that.
And also if you can get one of those crank up radios.
I love those.
It's a good way to work on your arm strength as well.
Can you get jacked?
Right.
Brittany Merleau is Civic Media meteorologist.
She joins us every Thursday for a little weather and wine.
Thank you so much, Brittany.
Really appreciate it.
We'll see you next week.
Thank you.
Stay with us.
News is coming up next when we return.
Paul Noonan from the Acme packing company will be here and we're going to wrap it all up with this shouldn't be a thing.
Take me to your leader edition on the Civic Media Radio Network.
We'll be right
back.
ones more don't know why
Good morning.
Welcome.
Welcome to Matt Nair on air.

You can join us.

Leave a comment on the live stream.
If you're watching on Facebook, YouTube, and what used to be Twitter, we got baseball action tonight, or this afternoon, actually, the Brewers at the Rockies.
Our broadcast starts today at 1.35.
You cannot listen on the stream.
You have to listen to the radio.
You can catch the game today on WRCE in Richland Center.
WISS in Oshkosh, WRJN here in Racine in Kenosha, WTQM in Park Falls, and a shout out to WBZH in Hayward, our newest Brewer's affiliate.
Brewer's today against the Rockies, our broadcast starts at 1.35.
We're gonna segue right into our guest.
Boom.
The Acme Backing Company sports guru Paul Noonan is here.
Good morning, Paul.
Hey, good morning.
17 to two.
I had to look at that four times.
I went, I went to bed when it was tended to and woke up this morning to find that, um, it's, it's actually an it's, it's an insane score for a lot of reasons.
It is the Rockies.
They are, um, probably the worst team in baseball.
Just to give context to how bad they are.
You might remember last season, the Chicago white socks finished as.
No worse than the second worst team in Major League Baseball history.
By all the projection systems that project baseball records for this season, the Rockies are projected to finish eight games worse than the White Sox are this year.
They have basically no pitching, no stars of any kind, no depth of any kind.
And more than anything, playing in Colorado is difficult with the thin air up there.
tricky to develop your pitchers so that they can be successful when they go on the road and at home, your hitters too.
They have one of the worst analytics front offices.
They've done basically no work in developing the proper way to play in Colorado.
So putting 17 up on them, not that surprising.
They have two wins on the air so far.
It's helped even out the brewers sort of run scored run allowed differential because you know they got
Thumped by the Yankees, the first couple games
of the
So because the Rockies are so bad, it would have been much worse if it had only been like a three to two game, right?
Well, and that's what I've you know I mean anyone who's midwestern knows that the burrs are probably gonna try spend the rest of April Showing the rest of the baseball world that was the first weekend was a fluke.
We're we're we're we're good.
We're
better than that, but um
I'm surprised you went to bed at 10 to two because as a brewers fan, I'm still like, how do we blow this?
All right.
I also suggested the idea and Jane's not along with this.
She doesn't like my idea here is that we take those 17 runs, we can bank them and sprinkle them over other games throughout the season.
Somehow that doesn't seem legal.
Hey, if the Houston Astros can cheat their way to a World Series, we can sprinkle runs.
Sprinkle our wins.
Yeah.
But as you said, Paul, all the pictures are hurt.
Everybody's hurt.
The Brewers did make a trade to address that.
Hopefully, they traded away quite a lot actually to acquire Quinn Priester, who is starting today.
And he is a former first round pick.
He's only 24 years old.
They clearly see something in him.
And the Brewers pitching lab is phenomenal at picking out little
little things about guys that they can develop that nobody else sees.
And I hope they have that here.
But I am a little skeptical about Priester starting his first game for this team in Colorado, because his biggest problem so far is that his fastball has been very hittable.
It is difficult to survive on breaking stuff in Colorado.
It doesn't break.
That's part of the thin air.
And if I had to make a prediction on how this is going to go, not great would be my prediction.
I was hoping they could hold him back for one more.
I think they go to Arizona next, which isn't that much better than Colorado.
But just, I would say, if Quinn Priestley gets absolutely destroyed today, don't write him off immediately.
He may be better with a couple of weeks in the
lab
Katherine from Madison has a question on the text line.
Why does thin air matter?
And the reason is all about friction.
When you throw any pitch that actually two reasons, but pitching wise.
If you throw any pitch that you spin, that you have vertical or horizontal movement on, it actually moves because of that spin interacting with the density of air.
And so curveballs will curve more at sea level or in humid environments than they will up in the mountains.
Fastballs that move horizontally, a lot of people have cut fastballs and sinkers that dive down.
Those go straight in Colorado, where they move at sea level.
So they're much easier to pick up on and hit.
That's one of the reasons Colorado is such an offensive environment.
The other one, though, is that hits travel further, because they don't encounter as much air resistance when you get a ball up in the air in Colorado.
It actually goes quite a bit further.
We saw Christian Yelich hit, I think, a 446-foot home run last night.
That's that's amazing, but it's less amazing in Colorado where there's just less getting in the way of the ball and it just goes and goes and goes and goes
and really quick You sent this to me after your topics.
You said that Bryce Terang is working with new Stances in the in the batter's box, which is interesting I would think that Bryce is who's a good player would stick to what he's got, but he's trying new things
I was like
What?
One of the things we track now is how much people changed their batting stance from year to year.
A journalist named Mike Petrollo did a big analysis of the people who've changed their batting stance the most.
The person who changed it the third most is Bryce Turang from last year.
He went from having a very open stance to a very closed stance, just
Quickly what that means, open stance, you're facing the pitcher more, closed stance, you're facing the plate more.
And typically open stance is better for contact, closed stance is better for power.
And last season, Bryce Terang was in the second percent, two of bat speed of exit velocity.
He's up a ton.
It's still not great.
He's up to 15%, which is not a big power guy, but
Terang is an outstanding contact hitter.
He almost never swings and misses, especially in the zone.
And adding even a little power to that has made a huge difference for him putting the ball into play with a lot more power, hitting these massive home runs every once in a while.
And with Terang's speed, his athleticism, his defense, if he can hit like 15 to 20 home runs a year, he's like an MVP caliber player.
These little tweaks, we'll see if it holds for the whole season, but it could be a huge difference maker for the team if it actually holds up.
And his underlying metrics so far look like they will hold up.
It's not a lot of fake stuff with Tarang.
He actually is, he's in the ball pretty hard.
If you're just joining us, Paul Noonan is our guest talking all things sports from the Acme packing company.
Let's move on to the Packers, Paul.
You mentioned that last time you joined us, Calvin mentioned he was interested in receiver Emuka.
Egg Boca.
Ohio State receiver.
I was not even close, but continue.
Calvin doing a very good scouting job, by the way, because the Packers had him in for a rare two-day visit.
Visits don't always matter in the pre-draft because with higher level guys, the Packers will often sign undrafted free agents and like seventh round picks on guys they have in.
You can kind of bank on that.
To have a guy in for a two-day visit means they're probably very, very interested, and he is very likely to be there when their first round pick comes up, and possibly when their second round pick comes up too.
He is a great fit for the offense in that he is super versatile.
He is a great athlete.
He can play in the slot and outside, which in this draft, not a lot of guys can.
Um, this is a very small receiver draft and he is one of the only versatile guys in the whole thing.
Um, and it's always good to get Ohio State receivers because they do a lot of the hard work for you.
They're the best receiver scouts in college football.
Almost all of their receivers are at least decent NFL players.
And, uh, so he's a guy to keep an eye on when the draft actually rolls around.
If they end up with them, I won't be surprised at all.
Calvin, you considering switching careers and going into scouting, I assume now?
No, I just.
I have a soft spot for Ohio State wide receivers and I feel like Amika Abuqa specifically I think if he was on any other team then Ohio State this year his stock would be a lot higher.
He had a great college career but he just happened to be on the same team as the greatest 18 year old wide receiver to ever play college football.
So he got overshadowed a little bit.
He got overshadowed a lot because he had Jeremiah Smith this year and he had Marvin Harrison the year before and he did suffer some ill time to injuries too.
So I think his stock's actually a little lower than it should be.
He blew the doors off people at the combine.
He's a great athlete.
So I think he is an underrated guy and I'd love to have him.
He would actually fix quite a few packer issues.
So hopefully that does happen.
My only thing is I just love listening to Calvin talk about football because you talk
talk about.
But when you talk about football, there's such a deep knowledge you have, Calvin.
That's very impressive to watch.
Don't shake your head.
That's your thing.
It's called a
compliment.
Deal with it.
I appreciate the compliment.
I just don't want to oversell the depth of my football
knowledge.
You are impressing a man who, for a profession, writes sports.
Say thank you.
Thank you guys see it's a Wisconsin thing.
That's like being cheap In the time that we have left Paul, let's talk a little bit about bucks with just three games left
Yeah, they are they're hanging tough in terms of still being able to maybe make the fourth spot They have to win out and get really lucky.
They probably won't But they've been on kind of a tear even without
Damian Lillard, mostly carried by Yanis being crazy, because he's Yanis.
But also their bench, and especially Kevin Porter Jr.
If you go and look at the last few Bucks games, all of the starters are fickle in the NBA anyway.
But this is not an advanced stat, but one of the better stats to see how people are doing is the plus minus.
Basically, when you're on the court, you give up more points than your team scores or vice versa.
Yannis is the only positive starter for like the last six games.
And they've been
And Bobby Port is coming back has been a nice little boost, especially scoring wise.
But Kevin Porter Jr.
has been like, I think underrated good.
He's been like plus 15 or better in a whole bunch of games in a row.
And
Going into the playoffs usually kind of want to shorten your bench I do wonder if the Bucks will do a little bit of shuffling to get actually a little more time for some of the down roster guys a little bit more than they have and I do wonder if Brooke Lopez starts to see the pine a little bit more He is definitely getting a little bit slower a little bit long in the tooth and that rim protector job He does in the regular season is often exploited by teams that can capitalize on his Speed or lack thereof in the postseason, but keep an eye on Porter in particular and see if
He's been arrived, not like a rookie, but see if he has a little bit of a breakout here when we start to move into the postseason.
Speaking of the brewers, we have brewers action on some of our civic media stations starting at 130 today.
Hopefully the brewers can do a repeat while they're out in Colorado and smoke them again, 70 to two.
You can catch the game today.
You have to listen to terrestrial radio.
It's not going to be on the stream.
Catch the game starting at 135 on WRCE in Richland Center, WISS in Oshkosh, WRJN here in Racine and Kenosha, WCQM in Park Falls, and in Hayward on WBZ8.

J-A-N-E-S-A-Y-S, Jane says...

This is from Vice.
Sammy Caramella with the byline, headline reads, a bizarre half-alien, half-mermaid appeared on a UK beach.
On the sandy beach of Margate Kent, a coastal town in England, beachgoers noticed a freaky figure, Paula Regan,
said for the life of me, I couldn't tell you what it was.
It was the weirdest thing.
It looks like an alien mermaid carved out of wood.
It
does.
It looks like
some sort of weird art project, but like a mashup between a fish and then there's an alien creepy head on it.
Yeah, exactly.
The mysterious figure appears to have an ET looking head, a skeleton like body.
and a scaled mermaid appearing tail.
It was also sticking partially out of the sand in a seemingly threatening manner.
It's not moving.
First of
all, it does not have an ET light head.
Let's
just
get that done right there.
It also looks like it looks like it's wasted away.
Like it was bigger
at one time.
It's
tripled.
And it looks like it's crawling for help.
I know I'm getting sad.
Sad about the half alien, half
mermaid.
Regan who found it said at first I thought it was a piece of driftwood Yeah, or maybe a dead seal because I could see these weird funny tail fin things The head looked skeletal, but at the back the fishtail was soft and squishy It didn't feel slimy or decomposed, but it was definitely strange The beach was pretty much empty, but eventually a ton of beachgoers noticed all the commotion and gathered around it even these people
After a while, no one could figure out what it was.
Somebody thought it might have fallen off a boat.
Others suggested it could be a figurehead from an old ship.
That would be one of the ugliest things to put on your ship as a figurehead.
That would just fuel the idea.
That would just, and I have, and I ask how to get this clip ready, that would just fuel the idea that aliens were actually pirates.
There it is.
Regan says some thought it again was a figurehead from a ship like a carved mermaid I just knew that no one would believe us if we didn't take a picture and That's where it ends.
I looked for any follow-up on this Are you telling me nobody picked this thing up and took it?
I don't know to a scientist somewhere and said
What is this thing made out of?
At the
very least, walk up to it.
I mean, it's obviously not alive.
That's what we know.
That's exactly, until you put water on
it.
I would not kind of just see if it could feel like, like not going to fit if it's wood.
Also, a mermaid from a ship, if like, that just seems weird.
That's like you said, the ugliest mermaid on earth.
Like, no one's going to put this on your ship.
It's very, very odd.
But yeah, it's, it's, it's very hard not to look at, but it's also just.
Horrifying.
It's a little disturbing.
But again, I think someone carved this thing and left it there hoping something like this would happen.
What I really enjoy about the picture is that there's just disturbing image in the background.
Just a dog doing its thing, living
its
life.
Sniffing things.
Yeah, it's not sniffing the alien.
It's like
that.
It's a piece of driftwood.
Not bothered.
That wraps up today's episode of...
This shouldn't be a
thing.
